On the date of the mass shooting in NYC (Park Avenue), Eric Adams was the city's mayor. Police were fully funded. A police officer was the guard of the building. And four people still died. All that protection meant nothing.

The issue is that a man with certified mental health issues used a strawman to buy a weapon (AK-15) which may or may not have been sold to him directly.
